This whole examine who I am thing thru Ayris and her college papers has me much more observant to what my role is and how it plays out in the lives of others around me especially my baby grands and my children . . .
Here is my thought for the day...
We use to have rules in our house about the Phone, the Computer, the TV. You have to go to school. You get good grades, you work around the house, you don't work outside the house cuz your work is to succeed your job is School! Amric somewhere along the line also got the job of Sports; football, baseball, wrestling all chosen jobs of his Father for him! Things Change.
nesses that how much "fun" can learning be and College forget it - doesn't sound fun at all!! Jobs are hard to come by period. And Sports well thats where my thought is. You aren't ALWAYS going to be #1. BUT YOU CAN SUCCED YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU WILL. You don't always want to do it and You aren't always going to, especially if it's what your Daddy wants for you ;) thus the story goes of Amric Zane and his Daddy! Richard always told Amric and everyone that would listen "this kid is HUGE the size of a FOOTBALL PLAYER". Along with that he would tell Austin "You better stop buggin him some day he'll be twice your size and beat the crap out of you!" Amric has the best heart he would never do that (just so you know!). He started Football, in the 3rd grade one day his soccer coach asked "has he ever tried Football?" so in the 5th grade he was working out with the High School kids dragging tires around with telephone logs. Then in his 7th grade year he, himself sought after a Rugby coach and in the 8th grade was playing RUGBY with the High School kids.
He rafted the Rivers of Washington, Oregon & Montana with his dad. they fished in Canada (but that's another story for another day! |
His Sophomore year he played soccer! |
ELMA EAGLES AYRIS AND AMRIC GO FIGHT WIN! |
Then in his Freshman year due to him standing for what He believed in and an other Sport he loved trumping Football he retired from the game. Devastation hitting his father. Amric never slacked off at any sport practice or otherwise. He always gave it his all.
